Licensing & Distribution

Depending on the type of app you’re developing, there are different licensing and distribution requirements that need to be observed. When you’re ready to distribute your app, refer to this section for some basic guidelines, and if applicable, details about the Apple licensing options.

Android and Web Apps
  • Students (or faculty and staff who develop apps independently of the university): follow the licensing and distribution requirements found on the site specific to your mobile device.
  • For university apps developed by faculty, staff, other employees and contractors, contact mobile-admin@lists.clemson.edu in CCIT for distribution information.
iOS

To develop for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch (iOS) apps, you need Xcode. It is part of the Software Development Kit (SDK) from Apple, which includes a license that allows you to test in a simulator and deploy on an iOS device. Xcode is also available separately for download from the Mac App Store.

  • Any student/staff/faculty-developed application can be distributed to the Clemson University community through our Enterprise license.
  • Any Clemson University owned application can also be distributed through Clemson University’s Corporate license on the iTunes Store. This does not apply to student-owned applications.
The Apple licensing options are detailed here:
